About Jayel

Hello! My Name is Jayel and I can't wait to help your child expand knowledge. I have all sorts of experience teaching k-12, undergraduate, and graduate courses. Some of my most recent work was as a volunteer in Chicago public schools, supporting 30 students with ACT/SAT prep in addition to college application support. I am a PhD Candidate at NYU with a focus in critical theory. I have strong critical and creative writing skills (an English writing major in undergrad), and am most excited to help with essays, critical and creative writing (think brainstorming and planning arguments), and editing skills. I am also strong in math skills up to trigonometry. I grew up a self-taught homeschooler. These experiences plus recent training have given me the tools to tailor my lesson implementation moment by moment to my students' needs. I take a strengths based approach to learning, challenging students to find creative solutions while also accommodating gaps in knowledge.
